“Came today with my family in a large group for the breakfast with santa experience! the children absolutely loved every minute including the adults. The atmosphere was christmassy, the staff was great and food was delicious! We will definitely be making this a new family tradition as it was so magical, santa and his elf helper were so warm and welcoming they really went above and beyond to cater for our family as large group (7 children & 10 adults) they were so patient and allowed us to take lots of lovely group family photos in our invidiual families and allowed us all in the room so all parents/grandparents were able to see the joy on the children's faces! thank you harvester for a fantastic family christmas experience!! ❤️❤️”

“What an immense experience. Food was perfect, service was perfect. Try it, you'll love it.”

“Fabulous little café. The sandwiches were huge with really fresh ingredients and very tasty. We ordered a side of chips, which was also massive and they were lovely and hot and crispy. Definitely recommend! I can post pics of the food ‘cos we scoffed it all.”

“The food and drinks were amazing, all the staff was super friendly too, I would highly recommend anyone looking for a nice new lunch spot!”

“Every time I visit Bath, I make sure I have time to tick off Good Day Café! The staff are super lovely and welcoming. They have so many delicious breakfast brunch meals available, it's always an "umm" and "arrrr" moment when I look at the menu but I know whatever I choose, it'll be heaven! Their sweet treats are the best in Bath, such a big and fun selection of items. I recently bought an eyeball scotchie and the mint scare-ro brownie roll - DIVINE! ❤️ I'd highly recommend the Good Day Café for the best experience and tastes ❤️”

“We ate on the patio as it was a beautiful day. The food was some of the best we ate while visiting England. Our waitress was kind, courteous, and made excellent recommendations.”

“The Iford cafe and restaurant is a favourite spot for our family. We love dining there because of the delicious food and consistent service. The atmosphere is incredibly relaxing, making it the perfect place to unwind. The cafe also has a great selection of delicious sweet and savoury treats. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a wonderful restaurant/cafe outside the city of Bath.”

“Highly recommend the ploughman’s, staff exceptionally friendly and great service. Pop into the deli next door who have a really nice selection of chutneys and more”

“Owners and staff were smashing, exactly what we all needed in the morning - no notes for improvement.”

“Very good. Friendly and helpful staff. Busy with a good atmosphere. Seemed like good quality food and drinks to me. Well worth a walk from the Bath Spa campus car parks”

“We don't live in Bristol but went back to the city for a second time this weekend, when we visited last year we went to the sunshine cafe and returned again today. Breakfast is very nice and the service is great, friendly staff! Next time we come to Bristol I'm sure we will be back again.”

“We didn’t they did brunch here but were very glad we spotted someone eating one when we walked past. Great value and super tasty. Everywhere else on Gloucester Road appeared to be closed so we were rather happy to go here”

“I was stumbling around on a rainy Sunday morning and I came across this gem! Amazing vegan breakfast and oat hot chocolate. Staff were really friendly, food was seriously tasty!”

“I had a mac n cheese bowl and one of their many ridiculous matcha flavours (hot matcha with caramel). It was all very delicious and the staff are lovely. Had a seat in the corner. It is a bit noisy and is mostly 2 seater tables, not loads of comfy seating. I did go at a busy time.”

“Lovely selection of food, staff were extremely friendly and service was quick. It was busy the 3 times I attended at various times across the weekend. Coffee was very nice (barista made) and cookies equally so. A wide selection of cakes and pastries as well as a menu of food choices such as breakfast sandwiches, cream teas, baked potatoes and toasties. Option to take away food was nice for when no seat could be found although patrons quickly moved on noting how busy it was and people waiting. Indoor and outdoor seating access from the cafe. Outdoor overlooked the road and small river running right in front Great access to the gorge from the site being just up from the caves and Jacob’s ladder.”

“We visited Primrose Cafe in Clifton for breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to relax on a weekend morning. We both had coffee that was freshly brewed and delicious, complementing the food beautifully. I chose the eggs Benedict, which was perfectly executed with fresh, poached eggs and a rich Hollandaise sauce. My wife had the croque monsieur, Both dishes felt like they were crafted with care, using quality ingredients. The staff were friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive vibe of the café. The balance of a cosy ambiance with efficient service makes Primrose a lovely place to enjoy a leisurely brunch in Clifton. We will definitely be returning to try more of their menu!”

“Lovely food, great price and friendly staff”

“Popped into the cafe for a cuppa and a piece of cake yesterday. Coffee was great, service excellent and the carrot cake absolutely delicious. Thank you. Such a warm and convivial atmosphere and, despite the gloom, I caught a few moments of precious peacefulness outside too. Thank you. I'll definitely be back soon. Kindest. scott”

“Lovely little cafe, nice atmosphere and a great selection of cakes, tea & coffee and food. The staff are friendly and welcoming and there's a loyalty card you can pick up if you're a frequent visitor. Toilets are up on the first floor and theres a little book shop to the right hand side of the cafe. Hope to come back again soon!”

“What a lovely cafe. Although they have an outdoor seating area, the inside is absolutely gorgeous: surrounded by plants and good quality gifts, it feels a little like sitting in an orangery. We had a block booking. The staff worked really hard to cater for us all (including alot of vegetarians) and the service was great. Dogs are welcome, water provided and there's even a jar of dog biscuits available to buy individually. As for the humans, the food was really nice, the tea, hot and plentiful. Definitely going back.”

“Hark! I visited a charming cafe this morn, And there I found a meal of great adorn, A beef brisket sandwich of divine taste, Whose praises I must sing with joyful haste. The bread, so fresh, was soft as summer clouds, And held within it beef, cooked to astound, Tender and juicy, with a flavor so bold, It left my taste buds trembling, as if on hold. The spices, oh the spices, were a delight, A harmonious blend, that seemed just right, Each bite, a symphony, of savory notes, Played upon my palate, as if by rote. The cafe, itself, was a true treasure, A haven of peace, from worldly pressure, With decor that evoked a bygone era, And service, warm and friendly, with no error. So, if you seek a meal to make you sing, Go to this cafe, without any fling, Order the brisket, and take your time, For a meal like this, is worth every dime.”

“Great local cafe, service is great and the food prices are super value with a good choice. The best point is they are flexable to help with your food requirements if you want to swap something they will. a local cafe you must try”

“I had Sunday Roast here today with my daughter and her boyfriend. We couldn’t have hoped for a better experience. Greeted by lovely staff, who looked after us really well throughout. The food was absolutely delicious, and just the right size portions. I’d say it was perfection, which is hard to improve on. We will definitely be back very soon.”

“Brilliant service, although taking a while to collect my order (around 15 mins as they couldn’t find proof of it) gave me my part and sent me on my way, very happy”

“Great climbing centre, especially for bouldering and groups with kids. Accessible, friendly staff and a nice cafe to boot. Walls are varied and well marked. Free car parking to the front & rear.”

“Second time I’ve stayed in this hostel and I love it! The staff is incredibly lovely and helpful, they make you feel at home. The first time I had a private room and it was perfect. The second time I stayed in a shared room and it was a bit small and awkward having 3 level bunk beds, it was definitely harder to get good sleep but still an overall nice experience.”
